A couple months ago, we predicted that after seeing GM trademark the name “Zora”, [ Could a mid-engine Corvette called the “Zora” be in the works? ] we predicted that a high performance ZR1 was unlikely for the C7 generation, but that:

The C8 platform will be able to accommodate a mid-engine design and an ultra high-performance, mid-engined Corvette called the “Zora” will be offered.

This mid-engined Corvette could be powered in a similar fashion to Porsche’s 918 Spyder supercar, or the new hyper exotic Ferrari LaFerrari ; both of which use a hybrid-based powertrain.

If there’s any validity to Motor Trend’s “scoop”, our prediction might not be too far off base!!

This would very exciting. May be possible for Chevy to sell both a front- & mid-engine version at the same time. The mid-engine version would be high-style, low production but offer reliable & competitive performance comparable to any exotic brand or model.

I would image that his would also encourage Ford to revive their GT40 or some variation & for FCA to possibly re-examine the ME-412 concept from the days of DCX life with Daimler-Benz.
